With {{Version|8.0}}, the user management has been reworked:
* Permissions can now be manually edited, as they are now stored as XML.
* The permission file has been moved from the home directory to the database directory. It was renamed from {{Code|.basexperm}} to {{Code|users.xml}}.
* Local permissions are now defined for database glob patternsinstead of single databases. Both local and global permissions are stored in the same file.* A new [[User Module]] was introduced to allow is available, which allows user management via XQuery.
